Answer
The difference between neuroglial cells and neurons are:
1.Neurons can produce impulses whereas neuroglial cells can't produce impulse 2.Neurons are for transmitting signals whereas glial cells are for supporting and protecting neurons.
There are 6 types of neuroglial cells,they are:
1. Oligodendrocytes
2. Ependymal cells
3. Microglial cells
4. Astrocytes
5. schwann cells
6. Satellite cells
Work Step by Step
1.Oligodendrocytes :It has a bulb shaped body with many finger like processes.
function: It helps in formation of myelin Sheath around the neurons in CNS which acts as a shock absorber
2.Ependymal cells:They are cuboid shaped epithelium like cells lining The ventricles of brain
function : It produces cerebrospinal fluid.
3 . Microglial cells:These are small macrophages developed from the monocytes.
function: They help in the phagocytosis.
4.Astrocytes:These are star shaped cells with processes
function : they form the blood brain barrier
5.Schwan cells : These are present in Peripheral nervous system
Functions : they form the myelin sheath around the neurons of peripheral nervous system.
